  • A's News Clips, Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Coco Crisp Decides On
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Coco Crisp decides on next team, but won't say Susan Slusser, Chronicle Staff Writer Departures are the norm for the A's this winter, with pitchers Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez and Craig Breslow all traded and free-agent outfielders Josh Willingham and David DeJesus officially leaving. One of the A's free-agent outfielders, however, remains on the team's radar. Oakland wants to bring back Coco Crisp, according to A's sources. With so many young pitchers on the staff, Crisp's defensive ability is especially valuable. Crisp's agent, Steve Comte, confirmed that he has continued to talk to the A's, and he said Monday that Crisp has decided where he will play this season. "Covelli has made up his mind," said Comte, using Crisp's given name. "Basically, we just have to let that team know." The Cubs and Dodgers are other teams recently linked to the Crisp. The Orioles also are interested, according to cbssports.com. Comte estimated that he has spoken to 13-14 teams about Crisp this winter. Crisp has said that he wants to play for a contender, and though the A's are clearly in rebuilding mode, Comte said, "They're intriguing. It will be interesting how it plays out. They've moved a tremendous amount of personnel, but there is a plan there." The A's have spoken to many free-agent outfielders, including onetime Oakland prospect Ryan Ludwick, according to a major-league source. Other possibilities include ex-Giant Cody Ross and Conor Jackson, whom the A's traded to Boston in late August.

(Jan. 31, 2018) -- Jon Jay, MLB outfielder, former player on the St. Louis Cardinals World Series Championship team, Miami native and Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade alumnus, hosted the 7th Annual Jon Jay FMSbonds Celebrity Bowling Challenge that raised $75,000. More than 250 guests joined Jay at Splitsville Lanes in Miami on Jan. 27 for a fun-filled event that benefited Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s Project Learn After-School Program, serving Club members in grades K–8. The sold-out crowd included Major League Baseball stars and local celebrities including Gio Gonzalez (Washington Nationals), Jon Beason (retired NFL), Kevin Seigrist (St. Louis Cardinals), Tommy Pham (St. Louis Cardinals), Kolten Wong (St. Louis Cardinals) and Danny Valencia (MLB free agent). The surprise of the evening came when Gerard Loisel, past president of the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame, presented Jay with the official jacket and ring from UM Sports Hall of Fame. Jay was inducted last year but was not present to receive the iconic jacket and ring. “This year’s Jon Jay FMSbonds Celebrity Bowling Challenge proved to be even more exciting than previous years,’ said Jay. “Not only did we raise funds for Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade, but I was presented with the jacket and ring from my alma mater’s Hall of Fame in front of my family and friends.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
